High marks for all but penmanship

Longtime state Rep. Jack Barraclough, R-Idaho Falls, had high praise for U.S. Sen. Mike Crapo as he introduced him to the House chamber this morning, where Crapo spoke to lawmakers on what’s going on in Washington, D.C. – but Barraclough also had one small criticism: “I know he was magna cum laude at Brigham Young University and cum laude at Harvard, but he sure didn’t get an A in penmanship, I’ll tell you that.”

Perhaps the lawyer-senator should have been a doctor?
